Is it the grill low down on the front bumper?

By the way SD very nice indeed.

The only one I've seen is the one I test drove about 3 years ago, my local dealer held an away day in a hotel in the scottish borders, full range of cars to try so took out a RX 450h as well and have since bought one.

The LC500 was the V8 bloody marvellous.

Very nice Glen, I had a 250 V6 same year and colour, it's from my neck of the woods must have been sold new by Lexus Carlisle in Cumbria.

Was out in the lakes this week on a round trip of 150 miles or so, and never seen as many Lexi in one day ( IS RX RC NX UX ) and not all driven by old gits like me.

70% chance the colour of the trim is Mercury Grey. Try ordering a bit off eBay and see if it works. If not might need a new piece

Update, ordered from Lexusshop via eBay at 1.00pm yesterday dropped through my letterbox today at 11.15am and is the perfect match, thanks rayaans for your imput.

The paint codes appear to be the same, mine is 923 Lexus Dark Silver but has the slightly darker lower sections.

This is what my paint shop guy gave me.

Below is a link for all the 2018 colour codes.

The other alternative is to visit one of the professional paint suppliers who will generally match the paint colour either with charts or electronically and then make a touch up for you.

Thanks for the reply Steve, I have took Rayaans advice and ordered Mercury Grey from eBay, it was just £14 with p&p so fingers crossed.

Thanks for the reply Rayaan, I phoned " lexuspartsdirect " and they could't identify the colour, I'll give your suggestion a go it's only a small mark so a little touch up will be ok.

Thanks again.

I hope one of you guys can help me, some lowlife has scratch the front bumper of my MK4 RX, my car is white but the front bumper trim is a dark grey does anyone know the colour name or the code number.

Thanks.

I received a Lexus brolly as a gift when collecting a new IS from Lexus Newcastle in 2013, it's very good quality still in excellent condition.

If the chip's in the vision area of the driver the repairer will insist it a new screen, had mine replaced last summer.

Hello LenT. You're correct. The choice is budget based. They are quite pricey.

Hi Frank, I've owned both a mk2 and a mk3 with the V6 engine, I think the mk3 looks fantastic and handles a little better, it's the one to go for if you can stretch your budget.

This was mine.

RSA..Royal Societ of Arts ?

RSA...Royal and Sun Alliance ?

RSA....Road Speed Awareness ?

 

Sorry David, I give up.

Assistance.

I wondered why I hadn't received a reminder for my RSA which ran out at the end of March so gave them a bell, Lexus gave everybody a extra 3 months FOC because of corvid 19.

Thanks very much Lexus.

I ordered this in aug. 2013 from Lexus N/castle, I think I was the first 250 of the new model they had sold, every one wanted the 300h.

I'm on my fifth.

207 IS 220  mk2 6 months old

2011 IS 250 mk2  new

2013 IS 250 mk3 new

2016 GS 300h mk4 new

2018 RX 450h mk4  18 months old.

I don't know about that but having owned our 18-plate RX450h Luxury for exactly two weeks today, I can tell you that EV mode holds at 40mph in ours.

I maybe wasn't quite clear I can do over 40 on Battery in normal mode it's when pressing the EV button for to stay on Battery it was being  cancelled, I've also noticed when in normal mode it will do up to 45.

Before a service late last month if going one mph over 30 in EV mode it would quickly cancel, now I can do up to 35mph, it would appear there's been a software tweak.

Not wishing to upset you old pal, but I think I slept with Jane Asher before you did. A really lovely girl.

 As was Marianne Faithfull before she slid down a hole.

You b******d I knew there was something going on.

And did we both sleep with Anita Ekberg and have a peek at Dad`s copy of Reveille,  David?

Jane Asher for me John, Macca was mad letting her slip away, dad must have kept his mags well hidden.

"the outside mirrors were located on the front of the cars wings and useless".

and

the wipers were vacuum operated

the indicators were semaphore

the windscreen opened outwards

the drivers door was hinged at the B pillar

the plugs could be changed in  a short while

a de-coke was performed every 10,000 miles and,and,and

You sound the same age as me John, dad had a 1946 Hillman Minx it had semaphores and a opening windscreen and doors hinged on the B pillar, didn't do a de-coke but remember buying pads and a bag of copper rivets and fixing them to the old brake shoes.

This is, fortunately or unfortunately, just how the Lexus brand works in Europe.

Essentially they give your four or five set packs/trims and you decide. The advantage from their point of view is it is easy to plan the vehicles, administer shipment and so on; the disadvantage is the lack of choice. That said, at least it is fairly clear what precisely you are getting (and this applies also if you are buying used).

Ian, I think it's time you corrected your " Year of Lexus ", 2013 is the date of your IS 300h.

You might want to fit a “powermagic pro” you can set it so it keeps the camera powered when the car is parked and then it monitors the battery level and switches off at a preset level.

Have ordered a Nextbase  422GW and a hard wire kit, thanks for your input Colin.

Thanks for the reply Colin, I'm going to give it a go, but just a front one for now.

Fitted a front and rear one into mine, tucked all the cables under the trim and wired it up to a live feed in the fuse box under the glove box. First had it in my IS, transferred it to my NX and then onto my RX.
